Galactic Glitch is a Roguelite Twin Stick Shooter with physics elements like wall bounce as well as grabbing rocks or your enemies and flinging them at each other or into other objects.

The game offers a wide variety of powers to choose from in order to overcome rooms of enemy waves and rift challenges. The game offers more than 17 mini bosses and main bosses which each are uniquely design to test your quick reactions and dodging speed.

The mechanics of wall bounce and objects grabbing was so fun to test out and take out the enemies with, you're never cornered as you can bounce yourself on the walls and avoid enemy barrage of bullets.

You obtain powers after completing challenge rooms or purchasing them from biome shops which will help you make a build that matches your playstyle.

The music is top notch for each biome as well as boss fights which keeps you engaged during your runs. There is also a skill tree which you can upgrade to get stronger at your HQ base.

Overall this was a really fun experience with the object throwing and wall bounce mechanics. I would really recommended it to any Roguelite Twin Stick Shooter fans.

Smelter is a 2D Action Platformer where you play as Eve and attempt to save Adam after eating the forbidden apples. You venture along with your companion Smelter to take down the guardians of the Doma runes in order to upgrade your abilities and spells.

The game offers 3 different biomes with 4 main stages. Each of the stages contain 3 different challenging trials that will test your quick reactions and patience skills. There are also secrets hidden in each stage to be discovered.

The gameplay with super fluid and I didn't have any issues at all. Your character learns 3 different elements as you progress through stages and the map. Each of those abilities will give you certain mechanics you will be using to overcome stages with their challenging platforming sections.

The music and soundtracks were amazing and I really enjoyed them. The boss fights were well structured and each required certain strategies to beat which adds to the challenge and fun.

This is a really recommended 2D Action Platformer to the fans of the genre. Overall Rating 10/10

Dragon is Dead is an Action Packed Roguelite with fast paced and intense combat. This is really a unique roguelite where you get to keep your gear plus blood points and everything else resets on death. Most Roguelite games I have played involves losing everything except (stat points) which you use to get stronger for the following run.

The mechanic involves finding gear from normal to legendary during your run and defeating bosses, and you get to keep that gear with you even after dying. There's also a skill tree where you can unlock skills and create different styles of gameplay depending on you.

There are many biomes which you go through during your run which ends each in a brutal boss battle which will test your quick reactions and dodging skills. There music was astounding and the devs really nailed it, amazing to listen to during your runs.

There are also npcs in the main town where you can purchase new gear or the blacksmith to add stat lines to your gear or change an existing stat with your collected blood points from the runs. There's also a storage system to keep gears if you wanna try out later or upgrade.

The game came out recently from Early access and now is in full version 1.0. The game plays very well and the controls are super solid, havent faced a single bug so far from all my runs. Amazing job by the devs who continue to polish the game even further.

If you have been waiting this game to come out from early access, now is the right time to get to it. Very recommended Action Roguelite to the fans of the genre.

MADNESS: Project Nexus is a Run 'n Gun Beat Em Up game with so much content to enjoy. There are 2 main modes (Campaign Mode & Arena) which each has their own story to follow.

The game has so much content than I expected which will keep you hooked for hours of non stop action, the first thing which caught my eyes were the visuals which is based on the cartoon series "Madness Combat Series" which dates back to 2002.

The game kickstarted with 2 main developers back in 2014 and it was completed in 2021. It was really well done and worth the wait. There are so many different stages with their own assets and buildings / facilities which you gonna visit during your playthrough.

The enemy waves onslaught will keep at you non stop but it's your crucial decisions and timings that can make or break. The music are bangers and there are so many of them during the stages and the boss fights. I really enjoyed them non stop.

There are so many mini bosses and main stage bosses that are really unique in the design and attacks to each single one of them. It will really test your mettle and quick reactions and strategic thinking, some will require direct combat some will require certain mechanics to beat.

There are so many weapons from guns, to rifles, knives, swords...etc you name it. The options are so vast to choose from for whichever matches your playstyle.

The controls were super solid and I didn't face any single issue during both campaign and arena playthroughs. I spent over 53 hours into the game and I'm still finding new stuff day by day, that's how big the game offers its content to the players which is really amazing.

I want to once again thank the developers for making this amazing game which really stands as one of my favourites of all time even though I don't play many Beat em ups, I still truly loved it.

Very recommended if you love the genre of Beat Em Ups / Run 'n Gun. Overall Rating 10/10

Kaodi is a short 2D Platformer with deep lore narrative, the game talks about a war of 2 clans (Shan & Kaodi) and the conflict between both of them for years.

The game is very short with few enemies to fight and no boss fights. The music is relaxing and fun to listen to while exploring the story. The controls are solid with few platforming sections.

If you like platforming games with almost no battles, this is a fun game to try out.

Overall Rating 8/10

Wings of Endless is truly a spectacle metroidvania with Action RPG Elements where you can level up your characters when defeating enemies and obtaining exp. The game has a beautiful story about a boy named Hariku "The Best Bountry Hunter" who sets out on an adventure to find more about himself and will find new allies, secrets and puzzles to solve during his journey.

The game offers a very big world with many biomes from forests, swamps, volcanoes to snowy lands. What caught my eyes immediately was the amazing pixel art style which is always appreciated. The combat was so flawless and fluid I didn't face any problems or bugs during my 100% playthrough.

The controls and the combat system might be tough at the beginning but it gets easier as you progress through the game as you get more and more used to it. You will be able to switch out 3 different characters in real time landing different combos and evading attacks at the same time.

You will find different gear and items that will help you through your journey, getting geared as soon as possible is always good here because if you don't, you will find yourself overwhelmed quickly in the screen due to the higher HP / Level enemies in a single map. Also, there's a skill tree that allows you to get stronger skills later on in the game to overcome any platforming challenges you might encounter.

The music and soundtracks were nostalgic to listen to while grinding out levels and gold. The bosses were formidable and very punishing especially later on in the game if you're not too prepared. I really loved the challenges they presented.

If you love a very good pixel art metroidvania with RPG leveling up system, then this truly a spectacular game.

Overall Rating 10/10
